from Drinking Tea with Monsters: OCD, Mental Health, Pop Culture & Ghost Stories
Even Disneyland isn't Disneyland when OCD comes with you. Here's how to travel anyway. This week, Leela and Pri talk openly about the realities of travelling with OCD. Why unfamiliar environments, lost routines, and uncertainty can feel overwhelming, and what practical strategies actually help make trips manageable. Because OCD doesn't respect your itinerary. Plus: it's January hibernation season, and Leela and Pri have built the ultimate cozy winter list of things to read, watch, and listen to. Remarkably Bright Creatures, Grantchester, Normal Gossip, The Thursday Murder Club. Consider this your soft seasonal reset. And to close: a chilling, atmospheric winter tale: the story of The Bells of the Frozen Post Office in Minnesota, 1936. Folklore, history, and just enough paranormal to keep things interesting. Here's hoping your tea is hot and your monsters are chill. ☕ I'm, like, totally obsessed with...
